FBI Investigating the Speaker of the House

OK, now we know a little about why Hastert was getting a little uptight about a Democrat in the House
getting a complimentary letters cleaning by a Executive Office Tidy Team.


After all, he was pushing back a bit at Executive Powers, or maybe he's just running scared

Oh yeah, only an attorney (general) could use a phrase like "co-equal." Geeeeeze.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, whose Justice Department approved the raid, has tried to strike a conciliatory note. He emphasized that he has "a great deal of respect for the Congress as a co-equal branch of government."

damn, the whole place should just been flushed clean and we should start over with new representatives. This could be big folks. Indian casinos, convicted lobbyists ... I wonder who that could be?

Are you only counting active members of congress or are you including the ones who recently resigned in disgrace or are currently incarcerated as well? (Trafficant, Toricelli et al)

Not that it matters... The whole place needs to be purged.

Makes more sense that way.

It's like watching a train wreck
